Against the text. The creative motivations in the testimonies of Arguedas, Alegria, Churata and Izquierdo Rios

Abstract

From some of our most representative poets’, dramatists’ and novelists’ testimonial accounts on what motivated them to write (University Federico Villarreal, 1996), four of our narrative classics were selected and edited by G. Morote Gamboa. The edition of these spontaneous gatherings offer an opportunity to analyze the authors’ ways to tell similar experiences in different scenarios and before different audiences, and help critics to profit from first-hand valuable sources.
